Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

taikaelain I found the storyline of this film interesting and different, but still I was disappointed after seeing the film. There were several things that weren't working. Foremost for me was the acting. Christina Ricci and Ioan Gruffud were both a huge disappointment. There was no depth to their characters and acting, so I as a viewer couldn't care less what happened to them in the end. Also the pacing of the film was not really working. There is too much running around and the relationship between Cassie and Michael is emphasized too much, at the cost of for example the relationship between Cassie and Dan. I had a strong feeling that the film was cut too short. Another fifteen minutes could have made a huge difference in ways of adding to the plot and the depth of the characters. One thing that really annoyed me, was the way Cassie every five minutes was calling out for Michael, and the little boy in question wheezing and moaning. Children with asthma have been seen on film so many times I can't even count them, so it annoys that they had to put one in this film, too. And one thing I can't understand is, why Michael first was mute and then all of the sudden started to talk again, and nobody paid any attention to this! So random!I have only seen the DVD-version, so I don't know if the extra 10 minutes made the film any better, but I have to say I'm very, very glad they cut the sex scene off. I hate the "mandatory sex scenes" that appear in almost every film, whether they fit in the story or not.All in all, the Gathering could have been an excellent movie, but as it is, it's shamefully lacking in many ways. Without Ricci, despite of her not so great acting, this film would have been a total flop. Now it is an OK film that you can watch when you're bored, but which doesn't leave any lasting impressions.

skoyles I caught this movie because my HDD recorder caught it. I began watching it and was quickly drawn in by the very British pace and editing, a flavour of times gone by juxtaposed with a mysterious contemporary horror film. It is far from conventional and not particularly caring about hiding any surprises - any twist that might have been expected is revealed to a careful viewer early on. "The Gathering" becomes an example of the most rare of stories in our time: an actual morality play. By setting the two millennium story in a place with genuinely ancient buildings and with a buried church, the writer creates a tale that holds almost mediaeval sensibilities. Flawless it is not, but a truly moral tale of repentance, heroism, self-sacrifice and redemption is unusual today, to say the least. A worthwhile motion picture.

Vic_max The movie starts out pretty great; the first 10 minutes are the makings of a really good movie. There's mystery, death, discovery, ancient underground stuff and amnesia ... all the ingredients of a great premise. By the end, there are twists and revelations - but it's a little slow in coming and a little botched.There are actually two mysteries going on: one involves a mysterious group of people who just "stare" and another involves visions of death. It gets a little confusing what events in the movie pertain to which mystery - so it's a little convoluted.While the middle is a bit slow, what I liked about the movie is the idea behind the plot. It involves a new twist on the crucifixion that I haven't heard before, so that "idea" was kind of cool. That said, the ending is done decently, but not very well - so that takes the film down a notch.Is it worth watching the movie? Sure - if you can catch it on a movie station (like I did on HBO) and don't have to go to any additional effort. Otherwise, it's best to skip it.

pgb-12 An interesting theme, another film touching on dark or forgotten corners of religion. The slowly developing plot is shot in an uninspiring film location, but I guess that's to prevent a 'dynamic Hollywood' overkill. There is not too much firepower (good) but there are plenty of moments where any viewer would be bored in what is supposed to be thrilling.And then there is Cassy. Running around saying 'you must BELIEVE me / no get away here, it's dangerous / Michael are you OK?' she may be the right actress for the 'watch out Bambi, behind you' type of role. From the first moment I think she is the weakest link in the movie (sorry Christine fans). Her acting is a misfit in terms of motion and emotion. But I guess she can do better than this, I'm sure that any male viewer would give here that chance to prove it(here you go, fans)All in all I will surely remember the interesting plot.
